SUMMER RUNNING ON THE HORIZION

The Magnificent Magnolia Fuscata


Summer is looming very near as the temperatures begin to soar into the 90's.  Fortunately, this morning was a gift as temperatures went down into the 50's overnight!  Truly enjoyed this morning's 3.5 mile view of the mountains, flowering trees and shrubs, and the "cool breezes!"

The photo above was taken last year in late May or June.  It's part of the Magnolia grouping and carries the lemony scent of the Southern Magnolia along with the similar banana scent of the Magnolia Fuscata. Very nice and delicate experience to run upon one of the sweet trees.  I know summer is right around the corner when these appear and douse their flavor about in the warm sunlight.

I'm having to practice getting up real early to be ready to get out there before the heat sets in for the day. I seem to take to cool weather jogging better than summer jogging because all I have to do is gear up warmly.  In the summer there's the heat factor bringing a whole different challenge. The sun can really bring negative consequences when added to a heat factor.  Sweat can blind the eyes and heat can bring disorientation. Hydration and focusing on  healthy habits is the gateway to enjoying the summer weather.

 This article presents some good reading along the line of health related food intake. Hope you enjoy it and a great week out there.
